Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right knee disorder, as flexion was limited to 30 degrees or less and there was no evidence of more severe impairment.
The deciding factor: The limitation of flexion did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5260.
